Frederic Weisbecker daf88c8983 kill-the-BKL/reiserfs: provide a tool to lock only once the write lock
Sometimes we don't want to recursively hold the per superblock write
lock because we want to be sure it is actually released when we come
to sleep.

This patch introduces the necessary tools for that.

reiserfs_write_lock_once() does the same job than reiserfs_write_lock()
except that it won't try to acquire recursively the lock if the current
task already owns it. Also the lock_depth before the call of this function
is returned.

reiserfs_write_unlock_once() unlock only if reiserfs_write_lock_once()
returned a depth equal to -1, ie: only if it actually locked.

/*
* The previous reiserfs locking scheme was heavily based on
* the tricky properties of the Bkl:
*
* - it was acquired recursively by a same task
* - the performances relied on the release-while-schedule() property
*
* Now that we replace it by a mutex, we still want to keep the same
* recursive property to avoid big changes in the code structure.
* We use our own lock_owner here because the owner field on a mutex
* is only available in SMP or mutex debugging, also we only need this field
* for this mutex, no need for a system wide mutex facility.
*
* Also this lock is often released before a call that could block because
* reiserfs performances were partialy based on the release while schedule()
* property of the Bkl.
